All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.

I remember when I was a kid looking at different types of film and really examining the grains of them. I remember even looking at the ink streaks.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

So many of us have our asses watching stupid reality shows, desensitizing our brains. Like, "Wow, isn't that dumb, but I'm so entertained right now! That's the stupidest thing I've seen in my life - give me more of it!" You know what I'm talking about. I turn on the television and I'm like, "This is so bad, but I cannot get my fucking eyes off of it." It's not good.

Some directors are very free and some directors are very specific. It seemed like doing a play.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.
